RE: Index clustering factor

Jonathan,

Thank you for your suggestions! There was indeed column conversion occurring causing the index not to be used.

I appreciate your assistance and love your book. Looking forward to the next one!

The optimizer cannot ignore the index hint for that query. Therefore the hint is illegal.

The first thing to check is whether you have a column coercion issue. What are the types of the columns and of the input variables - and what does OEM tell you about the run-time predicates ?

The statement is expected to fetch only 1 or 2 rows. The default Oracle gather_stats generates a histogram size auto.

We've provided an index hint in the SQL and Oracle sill ignores the index.
